Back to work | Alpharetta Newborn Photographer

Today was the day… back to work and I loved every minute of this session. This sweet little chunk of love spent three hours here at my studio with her mommy and daddy. We had the best time chatting and loving on this little one. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful job where I get to cuddle with sweet tiny babies. It does this mommy’s heart good every time I get to hold one. I thought about keeping this one. Just check out her chunky cheeks and head full of hair… and she had the biggest blue eyes. So pretty. Welcome to the world baby girl.

Light and Color | Alpharetta Baby and Child Photographer

I am always amazed at the properties of light… I think before I was a photographer I saw it but didn’t really know what I was seeing. Now that I have trained my eyes over the past few years I see it so much differently now. The light in a given location can change so much depending on the season, the time of day, the humidity in the air, the clouds, ect. I find it so amazing how two sessions shot in similar locations have a completely different look and feel. This particular day was a beautiful fall day with very low humidity. I believe it was around high noon too. And if you talk to most photographers they will tell you that is not ideal for light. Harsh sun, squinty eyes, ect. I have found in GA we are lucky with all our tree cover if you find the right spot it doesn’t matter what time of day it is. This session turned out to have some of the prettiest colors… the sun was bright the light was clean and the subject was beyond adorable. The Fall colors reflecting all around us gave us beautiful warm backgrounds. So while I was editing this sneak peek it inspired me to talk a bit about that light. Look around you, pay attention to your light, see how it can beautifully set off someones eyes or skin tones. It is really fascinating when you start paying attention to it.

This little one is graduating baby planner and boy oh boy I am going to miss not seeing her every 4 months. She has been a joy to photograph from the very first time I met her at 10 days old. I just adore her and her mommy and daddy! I thought it would be fun to revisit some newborn shots. Look how tiny she was!

And look at her now!!!!

See what I mean about the colors? Beautiful!

She is seriously one of the happiest babies around. Or should I say toddlers? She makes
my job VERY easy.

Thank you for a wonderful year E!

3 sleepy weeks old | Alpharetta Newborn Photographer

So most of you who read my blog know that I like my newborns young… 6-10 days preferably. Well when Miss E’s mom called me she was already 2 weeks old. So I knew she would be 3 before I could fit her in. I sort of kind of tried to talk her out of it for fear of baby acne, no sleep, and possibly a tough session. But mom insisted she was sleepy and would do great. So I agreed… who is to argue with a mom who REALLY wants shot of her little cutie. Well I tell you Mom and Baby E showed me!!!! This baby is probably one of my top 3 sleepiest babies EVER! She was 2 weeks old and little but still… she never stirred. She was so good and so sleepy and so drop dead gorgeous! Her black hair and little petite features blew me away. I don’t think I have ever seen such dark black hair. Simply breathtaking. So after all of my grunts and groans about her being older I learned a valuable lesson… never underestimate the sleepiness of an older baby. I adore her session and am so excited for mom to see these. Thank you mom and dad for being so flexible and for bringing your precious angel to see me.

And my first try at this pose… she went into it beautifully.

A new look for AGR Photography

I am proud to share with you my new website. I have been working on it off and on for a few months now and finally it is live! It has been a fun to work on and go through all my recent images. Some of you may reconige my adorable models on there. I love this site because the site itself and the images adjust to your monitor size so I can use bigger images to showcase my work. I am also able to group my galleries. My goal with this was to focus a bit more on my newborns since I do a lot of newborns and would love to do even more. I also have a “growing” gallery for all of my older babies, kids and relationship shots. Still another gallery is for my High School Seniors. And of course there is plenty of good information on session details, what to wear, and pricing. Simply click on Home in the navigation bar above or click the image below to see the new site. Now go grab a glass of wine and enjoy.
